Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory playfield

Playfield CE

  • brown
  • green

Fingerprint: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, huge painted portrait of smiling blonde country singer in glittering pink outfit straddling playfield centre, legs framed between flippers, large black-and-cream roulette wheel ringed with lit numbers behind her, giant red toadstool with white spots at bottom right

Distinctive

The most memorable element is a fan of curved white ribbon banners spelling 'Willys' in green script, arranged in a horseshoe around the top-hatted man in the black coat. Second, the entire lower playfield is littered with confectionery inserts reading SHERBET, RASPBERRY, LEMON, CHERRY, CONFETTI, HOLE, MAGIC MATCH and BONKERS. Third, a giant red toadstool with white spots and a purple underside anchors the bottom right corner. Fourth, the backbox art is a pale-faced figure with pink cheeks and round eyes beside the dripping red word logo. Fifth, a dense scatter of small red-and-yellow candy dots covers the chocolate-brown background.

  • A small village of mushroom-roofed cottages on the left

Other A small standing white human silhouette printed on the dark backbox window panel at top right
Full description

A full-length colour playfield shot at a slight angle, with the top of the backbox and a purple cabinet apron visible. The playfield artwork is a hand-painted confectionery landscape: a chocolate-brown river of liquid chocolate down the centre, a small pink-and-cream village of mushroom-roofed houses on the left, a bright yellow/gold castle spire, and a large red-and-white spotted toadstool with a purple cap at the lower right. Dominant colours are chocolate brown, mint/sea-green (amplified here by strong green LED lighting across the whole field), cream, and red. Down the centre runs a printed man in a black top hat and dark coat, arms flung wide, holding a small cup; his portrait also appears in a round cutout on the lower left near two yellow flipper bats. A curved arc of white 'Willys' labels fans out around him above the flippers. A circular 'shoot again' lane sits in the middle of the lower playfield, flanked by a wooden ramp with wire rails on the right and a metal ball-return on the left. The top of the playfield has a clear plastic ramp assembly, a white ghost-shaped figure with pink cheeks, and a cluster of green round score inserts reading 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500. The backbox header shows a hand-painted word logo in dripping red-and-white letters.

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is a plump crimson-red top hat perched on the leading W of the huge swirling gold 'WILLY WONKA' logo, which floats over a swirling purple vortex. The whole panel is framed by a riot of giant boiled sweets and jelly beans on a starry blue sky, as if the game is set inside a sweet wrapper. A second, smaller repeat of the same chocolate-brown-and-gold logo sits above the playfield window as a marquee. At the foot of the glass, a row of photoreal toadstools in orange, cream and blue-spot caps grows out of dark foliage, with a small red PIN logo in the corner.

Full description

A wide rectangular decorative backglass panel. The outer border is a deep blue night-sky field scattered with white starbursts, ringed all the way round with oversized confectionery: pink, orange, red, green, black and white sugar-coated gumballs, jelly beans, a wrapped toffee, a striped twist sweet, round striped peppermints and cut fruit-like slices, each with a white star-glint. A large inset window with rounded corners is framed by a black band carrying fine gold filigree scrollwork, gold corner diamonds and small gold 'W' monogram medallions top and bottom centre. Inside, the background is a swirling mottled purple and magenta vortex, over which sits the main title in fat cartoon 3D lettering: 'WILLY WONKA' in tall golden-yellow block capitals with a red top hat sitting jauntily on the W, and beneath it 'THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY' in smaller orange-and-yellow serif capitals, all edged with dark brown and cream drop shadows. A 'TM' sits at the lower right of FACTORY. Along the very bottom is dark green undergrowth with cream, orange-red and blue-spotted toadstool mushrooms, blue butterflies, and a red square logo at bottom right.

Full description

Full-view painted backglass with a photographic-style top banner and a large framed purple lower panel. Across the top strip, against blue sky and green treetops, six people are grouped: a curly-haired man in a tall red top hat with a wide orange band, purple velvet coat and huge gold bow tie smiles at centre-right; beside him are five children - a boy in a wide-brimmed tan hat with a yellow neckerchief, a blonde girl in red, a boy in a red cap, a fair-haired boy in dark clothes, and a smiling red-jacketed boy. A wrought-iron gate at top left spells WONKA in formed metal letters, and a small clock tower with a clock face and steep red roofs stands behind it. At right a green-haired figure with orange-tan skin raises two white-gloved hands. The lower two-thirds is a gold-bordered rectangle of swirling dark purple and violet marbling, carrying the main logo in chunky yellow-gold serif letters with a red top hat dotting the first capital. Scattered round sweets and lollipops sit on the dark blue border: a red swirl lollipop, a red-and-white peppermint disc, gold and orange sugar-dusted gummies, a purple ball, an orange jelly bean, a yellow jelly bean and a gold-wrapped sweet.
